Pouria Zeraati: Stabbed Iranian TV host says he will be back on air soon

BBC

UANI Director for IRGC Research Kasra Aarabi quoted: "Mr Aarabi, an outspoken critic of the regime in Tehran, works for a campaign group where he researches the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

The IRGC is a powerful paramilitary group within the Iranian regime which has been accused of targeting journalists at Iran International, where Mr Zeraati works.

Mr Aarabi said his friend was in a positive frame of mind and recovering. He described the attack as horrific but said: 'Pouria has told me, regardless of who is behind this, he won't be silenced, he'll carry on.'"
